[edit] Current focus project

I propose that we concentrate our efforts to the ensuring an excellent article related to Cuper's Cove. HJKeats 21:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
For a number of reasons:

The first official sanctioned colony in the New World,
The first colony for Newfoundland,
The birthplace of the first recorded English born child in Newfoundland and Canada.
400th anniversary in just 4 years from now, August 2010.
